5.0 out of 5 stars Want to try Scrooge...? Buy THIS one first!, February 16, 2002

By	Chris (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This is the first Scrooge story I had ever read (and first Carl Barks story as well) and I couldn't have had a better introduction to the talent of the Duck Man. Although I had read this story first in "Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: His Life and His Times", this edition is just as good of a read (I prefered the coloring job for this particular story in "Life and Times", although generally I prefer the color in the Gladstone reprint volumes.) Excellent artwork, a well-orchestrated storyline, and an appropriate and clever ending makes this a thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended reading experience. Also includes a Gyro Gearloose story.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is no one like Carl Barks!, July 8, 1999

By	Stephan Ortmann (Erlangen, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is one of the finest Barks' comic books ever made. The story brings you to the Klondike and the beginning of Uncle Scrooge's career and also introduces his one and only girl friend. The whole story builds around Scrooge's thrift and the lure for more riches and has a surprising ending! It is definetly a must for all people who like humor, a good story and great images.

4.0 out of 5 stars Carl Barks at his best, September 1, 2005

By	P. Hanna "OCD Comics Reader" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Back to the Klondike" is one of my favorite Uncle Scrooge stories. If you want to begin reading Uncle Scrooge stories, this is a very good place to start.

That Amazon keeps this in stock is something you shouldn't take for granted; I have had a tough time finding these Gladstone volumes anywhere else. If you like, read "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck," by Don Rosa after you check out this album. It will exponentially increase your enjoyment of each book.

Barks' storytelling and composition epitomize the notion of beauty in simplicity, a trait you don't find in too many comics today.
